Appearance: Kitty is a petite, delicate looking girl with a bit of a tan from her time in California and a light dusting of tiny brown freckles across her nose. A slim, reasonably fit girl due to her dance, Kitty is beginning to get her curves, though they aren't yet too prominent and she seems especially young when compared to her sister, who is only a year older. Kitty's big brown eyes give her an innocent look, as does the way that she styles her hair; really, her appearance reflects her innocent, pure, and almost child-like nature.

Personality: Kitty is a soft-spoken, well-mannered girl who is always polite no matter the circumstances. She works hard and you could say she's a bit of an over-achiever, but she doesn't really get an opportunity to boast about it because she's home-schooled; more on that later. Sweet and friendly, Kitty does her very best to get along with everyone she meets, brushing off insults and constantly turning the other cheek; she's a strong Christian, a vegetarian, and also considers herself a pacifist. Having been brought up in s rather old fashioned family, Kitty has some firm beliefs regarding many different things and is also a very modest girl in the way she behaves and dresses; easily embarrassed, she'll blush at almost anything.

History: Kitty was born in a small town in Colorado roughly a year after her parents' first child, a girl named Katherine. All throughout her early childhood, Kitty was practically the perfect child, obedient, polite, and very kind. Her sister, in contrast, was a bit of a troublemaker and was usually cruel to Kitty, who forgave her no matter what out of sisterly affection. In fact, this one sided affection was so strong that when Kathy was eventually shipped off to a boarding school for 'troubled' children, Kitty couldn't bear to be so far apart from her sister and moved to a town near the school, Perdido Beach, to live with her grandmother; Kitty tried the public school but didn't quite fit in and ended up being homeschooled by her grandmother.

Appearance: Kathy is a rather tall, long-legged girl with prominent curves and the facial structure of a model. She hardly looks fourteen, and people tend to have a hard time believing her age; she used to get mistaken for her mother's friend whenever the two went shopping together. With thick brown hair and hazel eyes framed by long lashes, Kathy is an alluring sort of girl and she knows it, so tread carefully around her.

Personality: Kathy is a wicked, cruel girl. From what has been seen, she is all about her and believes that the world is 'every man for himself'. You can't ever count on her because she'll only back the winning side and is a fickle girl, changing her mind in a heartbeat and leaving you in the dust. With a reputation for being a manipulative heartbreaker, it's obvious that Kathy is aware of her attractive appearance and she certainly uses it to her advantage; she just has a way of making people like putty in her hands. So far, not many people have seen even the slightest trace of remorse in her and many doubt that she cares at all for other people, leading her parents to call her a sociopath.

History: Kathy was born to Mitchel and Melissa Baker, a businessman and an aspiring model. She grew up in Colorado and from a young age it was clear that something was wrong with her, something dark in her eyes, something unsettling about that grin she gave you when she wanted something. Her babysitters never wanted to come back unless it was just her sister they were taking care of. When Kathy turned twelve, she started hanging around the wrong people and began to get angrier more easily; she eventually pushed her mother down a flight of stairs in a blind rage, leaving her with several severe injuries, and was shipped off to Coates Academy. It's rumoured that something else triggered her parents to send her away, but she keeps her family life private.

Appearance: Penny is a tanned girl of average height, average weight, and average curvy-ness. She has long, thick, caramel coloured hair with a few streaks of brown and light blonde and a boxy fringe that covers her eyebrows. Her eyes are a mixture of blue and green, coincidentally her favourite colour, and although her eyelashes are brown they appear black due to the mascara she wears.

Personality: Penny is a creative, intelligent young girl who is rather inventive and uses to her initiative. However, despite this, she is still rather dependent on her older sister as she can be shy and a little bit drowsy. Despite her dependency on her sister, Penny is still the more responsible one and looks out for her sister whenever she can. Usually, Penny is welcoming and friendly to the people she meets, but she is difficult at sensing the evil in others; it runs in the family.

History: Penny was born in Newquay, where her mother was visiting her family, as that was coincidentally her birthplace as well. A premature baby, Penny was in intensive care for a while, but doesn't have any medical problems to show for it today. For the majority of her life, Penny has lived in America with her sister, who looked after her when she turned eleven and began to feel something was wrong. Whenever Penny sleeps, she sees flashes of future events that leave her sweating and frightened; it took her a while, but she realised that she was actually sort of foretelling the future. Of course, nobody believed her and thought she was having a breakdown. When Lotta was sent away, everything got worse and eventually Penny's parents sent her away too because they deemed her crazy and too much effort. Needless to say, their family bond was never strong.

Appearance: Lotta is an average sized girl with a lightly toned figure and decent curves, at least for her age. Despite living in sunny areas for most of her life, Lotta has skin like porcelain due to staying indoors; she doesn't like getting too hot, and nobody knows why. Her bright blue eyes and natural light blonde hair make her almost seem like a living doll; you either love her look or hate it.

Personality: Lotta is a naive and hopelessly romantic girl who can't seem to tell the difference between love and manipulation. Though the eldest of her siblings, Lotta is a bit ditzy and not exactly the kind that you can guarantee to be there for you and act maturely. Emotional and somewhat theatrical, Lotta can be a little over the top and is very sensitive. This is all the outside, though; there's more depth to this girl than meets the eye.

History: Lotta was born in Los Angeles, where she did a little modelling from the age of four years old. She was always rather close to her sister, Penny, though the younger girl seemed to look after Lotta more than vice-versa. When she was eleven, Lotta began to fall in with the wring crowd and eventually ended up with a slightly abusive and aggressive boyfriend. After a series of events, she was eventually shipped off to boarding school; her parents claimed that it was because she was getting out of control, but it was also partially to protect her.

Nationality: American
Origin: Perdido Beach, California
Ability: pyrokenisis
School: publicAppearance: Alexa has long, blonde, hair which reaches just past the bottom of her shoulder blades and is normally worn down (and occasionally with a black cap). She has quite, bright, blue eyes which glisten with intrigue in the sun. Despite living in California most of her life, Alexa is rather pale as her mother was originally British and her farther, Californian, landing her inheriting her mother’s genes. She generally sees herself as a bit of a tomboy and, because of this, tends to wear a lot of checked shirts paired with ripped jeans of some kind or other. She likes to wear quite big black boots/shoes and finds anything else ‘simple a pain to wear’
Personality: Alexa generally keeps to herself. This isn’t for reasons like some people my expect; if you were to get to know her you’d find her delightful, sarcastic and generally annoyed easy but delightful all the same. She tends to make light of the situation though takes everything seriously and is very quick when it comes to thinking on her feet.
History: Alexa has lived in Perdido Beach her entire life although she had to move when she was 9 due to a ‘freak’ accident involving her step-farther. She doesn’t like to speak of what happened and is the reason she kept to herself all these years. The only person who she ever befriended was Blake Grey.

Appearance: Dara is a tall, long-legged, curvy girl with a caramel skin tone and bright green eyes. She usually wears her loosely curled brown hair in a half up, half down style with part of her hair in a messy bun. Darla is a little curvier than most simply because she doesn't like the idea of exercise and samples all of her cooking; the girl works in a bakery, what do you expect?

Personality: Darla is happy-go-lucky and extremely optimistic, almost annoyingly so. She is almost constantly bright and cheerful, but also a little patronising and sarcastic. Very good with children, lots of the town know her because she babysits their children and siblings sometimes.

History: Darla lived in Texas until she was seven and has retained an accent because of her family. She dropped out of school at the age of eleven and keeps up with her education at home, just scraping through her exams and such as she hates school with a passion. She works in her family's bakery/cafe most of the time, babysitting in her spare time; she does what she loves.

Appearance: Leo is a slightly scrawny boy of thirteen with the lanky look of a boy who grew very tall very quickly and didn't put on the weight to even things out. His skin is rather pale and he has a light dusting of freckles across his arms and cheeks. With hazel eyes and brown hair, he isn't exactly striking, but he isn't that bad looking either.

Personality: A quiet boy, Leo keeps to himself a lot and rarely interacts with others. He doesn't talk much and expresses himself mostly through painting, sketching, and poetry; he has an obvious talent for art. Quick thinking and intelligent, Leo gets through class with ease but remains under the radar by being quiet and sitting at the back.

History: Leo grew up in the town of Perdido Beach with his grandmother, as his father left his mother before he was born and his mother died in childbirth. Aside from being orphaned, Leo had an ordinary childhood with nothing extraordinary to mention.

Appearance: Lupus is a tall, well built boy with tanned skin and a strong jawline. He has dull blue eyes that he doesn't let betray his emotions and messy blonde hair.

Personality: Lupus is quiet and anti-social with a lot of aggression that he takes out through his boxing. Some might say that he's a bit of a bully, but he argues that he just intimidates people to get them to leave him alone.

Appearance: Long, curly, black, hair with a full fringe which stops just above her eyes. She has quite light, vibrant blue eyes and a slight tan to her skin. She is often seen to be wearing miniskirts and tight tops which will generally read something like 'nothing to wear'. Often wears converse shoes.

Personality: Blake is often seen as being a little dizzy and can be distracted easily but always there beside you when you need a friend and is great to talk to

History: Blake has lead a rather, what we’d perhaps consider to be, normal life. She lives with her mother, farther and baby brother, Henry who is autistic. As a child she used to play with Leonardo McCormack as her mother used to help his grandparents by taking care of him every so often but this had to stop more or less when they had Henry due to the amount of support he needs. Blake has never really hated her younger brother but ever since he came she sort of found herself getting pushed out of the way a little making her sometimes feel a little bitter towards him despite how much she actually cares for him. Her brother has caused some trouble for their family n the past; disappearing unexpectedly and somehow always ending up in the living room with the cookie jar despite the cupboard doors always remaining locked and high out of his reach. Let’s just say he’s a rather peculiar child.

Kathy tapped her pencil against her desk repeatedly, keeping in time with the ticks of the clock on the wall. The task was mundane, but more exciting than listening to the steady drone of the history teacher; he was totally botching the story, too, it was supposed to be awesome and gory. Bored, she closed her eyes for just a moment longer than a blink, opened them, and...
He was gone. The drone has stopped. And there was nobody stood pointing to the map on the board.
"This just became worth my attention." She remarked.

PERDIDO BEACH

Alexa was in class when it happened. She was sat daydreaming about how when she got home she'd be able to start painting again and was fantasising about how it would look. Of course, it never turned out the way she wanted but it was fun the think that one day it might.
"Lex." Alexa suddenly snapped out of her daydream and turned her attention to the front of the class and the voice that had called to her. But, of course, it hadn't been Mr Sissons, when had Mr Sissons ever called her Lex?
"Huh?" Alexa replied, sounding almost half asleep. Blake Grey, Alexa's one and possibly only friend sat beside her. She was the one who'd called her Lex.
"Lex, you saw that, right?" she asked worriedly. Saw what? Alexa asked herself although she'd meant to say it out loud. Then she suddenly realised that there was no Mr Sissons talking morbidly at the front of the class.
"Where'd Mr Sissons go?" she asked What she didn't realise was that was the question on everyone's lips.

Ella was sat by the window of the truck. It was rolled down the full way, wind gushing in through the gap it left empty. She didn't see why they had to come all the way out here. She remembered living here as a little child and also remembered how boring it was without TV or anything remotely technological.
